Grammar Got Run Over By A Reindeer

OK. So I re-read my last post and was appalled (!) at the number of times I switched tenses while telling my little story. It's ridiculous and I apologize. But I've kind of instituted a "no editing" policy on my posts.
Perhaps I should institute a "proofreading" policy.....

=> Your posts are very enjoyable, and I think you can stick with the no editing policy for awhile yet. But for the benefit of your readers, maybe you should institute some kind of paragraph-ing policy? All those lines running together is really difficult to read...

English was my worst subject in school and it definitely shows. I always write like I speak (which is the worst, I hear) so I never know when to put the kibosh on one paragraph to the next.
Perhaps I should double-space in between paragraphs?

I thought it was a pretty entertaining post as well. Then again, I also have a no edit policy, and I write like I talk most of the time. I change tenses all over the place too. It's a terrible habit I suppose. Maybe I am not the best person to give adice! Ha!

Switching tenses is a common problem I have when writing off the cuff as well, and you did it so well in your post that it didn't bother me.
